he's 14.. i bought him the Tao DBX1 at 13 for his birthday and he learned and rode it for a year before wanting something bigger

here's what a 13 year old after a few months of learning can do on a Tao DBX1 140cc :)

Video isnt working, can you just explain please?

I just clicked my video from your post and it worked just fine .Anyways what is there to explain?its a 10 year old kid ,hopping on a 450 Ktm race bike and riding it on a motocross track with no issues .If a 10 year old can ride that ,a 12 year old can ride a 250 with only 1/4 the power and much less suspension .

But I suspect that's not the typical 10 yo kid, and I suspect that isn't even close to his first bike.

That’s Dangerboy Deegan ,he is 15 now and races for Star Yamaha ,at the time of the video he was racing 60cc bikes ,but it seems you missed the point ,he was only 10 and was fully capable of riding a much larger bike than what the older OP is asking about .Many here are steering the OP into buying a smaller bike ,the kid is 12 and should be growing ,he certainly can ride a china 250 with just a small fraction of the power and size the 10 year old above was riding .

I didn't miss your point at all. I simply wanted to suggest I don't think your point is particularly relevant to the OP.
Can a 12 yo ride a Brozz? Certainly. You're video clearly shows that. However, the OP is actually trying to determine if HE should buy a bike that size, and the answer to that question is a somewhat different matter.

Agreed, it should be easy to ride, yes, in a straight line, on even trails/easy trails but throw in obstacles, steep inclines, etc and thats when you want a bike that is easy for you to manage, ie, you are tall enough to control.
Case in point, my son on the Brozz steers clear of steep hills and obstacles that he would without hesitation have taken with the Tao DBX1. I guess after slipping into a rut on a muddy decline and then wiping out and subsequently lifting and then dropping the bike a number of times as it was too heavy has made him much more cautious to what he can and cant do with it..

Im in nc, where do you see there bikes?

How tall is he?

About 5' 7"

So Yes Or No?
 

I would like a brozz or csc

What about lifan x-pect
 

and on amazon there's an x-pro lifan x-pect, what is the difference?:lmao:

Pretty sure there's no difference, they just slap their branding on it. I got mine from Venom Motor Sports, and a few other places sell them. They're all the same bike.
